Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru had written his autobiography in English under the name An Autobiography, this is a simple, concise and well edited Hindi version of the same book. Jawaharlal Nehru wrote it while in jail between 1934 and 1935 and it was first published in 1936. But when Hind Pocket Books published it in 1983 in a very simple language to reach the masses, this book broke all records of sales. Jawaharlal Nehru was a great personality and he has written many inspirational and informative books, but through Meri Kahani he has not only described his family or his struggle story, but the interesting way in which he has written the new history of India being created in front of his eyes in this book is undoubtedly enough to prove Nehru ji a great historian.
